This PSU for my main PC and when I say that new electronics smell was strong this thing had a STRONG new electronics smell and I'm hoping this filters out the shitty electrical in my house better then my old Corsair CX750M
A chocolate-glazed RF circulator...
...is what I did not buy today.
Seriously, people have guts putting this on eBay for a 100 bucks.
Ha. That's one of those ebay sellers that seems to have a big warehouse and no interest in actually getting rid of stuff.
(Edit: so I made an offer for $1, and surprisingly it wasn't set up to auto-deny such a low offer. I guess there's a little bit of troll in all of us?)

LOL! A trolling we will go. A trolling we will go. Hi, ho, the merry-o, a trolling we will go.

I don't know, it looks like it's on fire already from the photo!
Tek 577. Out of frustration, as I cant drink any alcohol for health reasons:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/152256917878Will probably rip out the screen ASAP. What I do next, is classified but will be fun. At least, if my health lasts long enough still.

Wow, that thing runs hot! There's already flames coming out the top of the box!

Two TEMEX LPFRS-01 Rubidium standard.
Set of Bourns trimmers (model 3386P) - part of my component storage.

Sweet - if they need repair see the thread TiN started on them. Even if they do work I'd swap out the electrolytic caps - they really cook in the unit.
Arrived today in the mail.
Does anyone have rating for these leads? 600V? 1000V?

The banana plugs would suggest that the leads are only rated to 30V.

By TODAY's standards. But unless the banana plug handles have a live exposed grub screw hidden back there, surely they were rated for higher voltage back in their day.
Yes, I meant by today's standards. The pin looks like it's folded tin and not a solid pin. There's also no shrounding.
Even for hobby level, I wouldn't recommend doing any high voltage work with them.

Took advantage of the recent Zoro 25% off coupon and grabbed a few goodies: Some Knipex nippers, a Knipex coax stripper, and 5 Stanley mini pocket screwdrivers.
The coax stripper is awesome. Now I don't have to suck so much at stripping coax. For $1.52 each the screwdrivers are almost disposable. Good thing since my last 2 disappeared (in the hands of my young boys I suspect..
).
Bought two pieces of Crestron a Sound processor and Pro 2 controller from 2004 thinking I would be able to add surround sound to my TV setup.
No luck so far seems these are pretty well locked up by software unavailability !!
And a Quadtech Resistor Replacement Switch with 10- Precision Resistor Company 1 Meg .008% resistors.
10 dollars !
A few boxes of instant soup, some kitchen towel, eggs, peanut butter...
:p
Seeing as you asked.
Nothing, dammit.
Because I drove to a local factory/warehouse to buy some stainless steel M3 button-head screws, and they were closed. It's a public holiday (Australia Day) and I'd forgotten about that. Just got back empty handed.
Oh well, tomorrow.
Edit 'tomorrow' (Friday) to add:
Fn(K!
It's not a public holiday today (I think) but on second trip there, they are still closed. Long Christmas break?
I dunno. If they weren't just 10 minutes drive away I'd have phoned first. Definitely going to phone them on Monday before wasting another half hour.
I bought 21 years of Electronics Australia magazine. For only $5.50. I don't know which is sadder, that I threw them out 20 years ago and am now buying them back or that they were only $5.50.
Do you know how heavy 21 years of EA is? Bloody heavy is my answer.
I stopped of at a Jaycar store which was quite near the pickup. Did you know resistors are now pre-packaged like Tandy used to do it? I didn't. That can't be a good sign. Both that it is as it is and that I hadn't noticed.
That's a good deal. I see people all the time trying to sell a single issue of some non-notable magazine with a non-notable cover story trying to get $5 or more out of it. It pays because someone out there at some point may want it and I think listings are free these days if you have a store. Some sellers have thousands and thousands of listings, many times on products they clearly don't even have in stock, they just drop ship it from another retailer.
Finally got my hands on Small Signal Audio Design, The C++ Prog Language (stroustrup) and the classic K&R second edition. The two latter just to fill out ever growin my mini library.
I really still love to have actual text books to pick up and read when I'm tired of the LCDs.
First post! EDIT: Apparently is already the third... I forgot I posted about scopes on test equipment section some time ago.
Ordered from Reichelt:
- Banana plug cables
- BNC cables and T connectors
- BNC - banana cable adapters
- ZD 912 soldering station
- some UNI-T multimeter
- Few rolls of solder, solder wick
- Flux pen
Also got C and C++ pocket guides and Elektors surface mounted device book.
Something old (Fluke 8021B), something new (Weller WTCP 51)
Damnation that work is not finished for another 3 hours so I can go and play
